Pacific fleet commander, translated iato words the actions of the Marines, who met the Japanese last Wednesday and Thursday and eloquently chalked up the one-sided score with bayonets and bullets.

Fight "Peath Stand" In the Wednesday action, Admiral Nimitz' communique said, a Japanese detachment of 92 men and officers fought "until the Jast man was dead," while the Marines' loss was only six killed and 13 wounded. Wednesday night, the Marines detected a well equipped forces of 700 Japanese which had landed from speed boats on an island beach with the intention of hewing their way through American lines. When the action ended late Thursday 670 of the enemy had died and the remaining 30 were prisoners, the communique said This victory cost the Marines the disproportionate toll of only 23 killed and 72 wounded. Nimitz Offers Praise Totaling the figures, they come to 762 Japanese to 34 Americans in the two actions. "Some shootin' brother," the Marines might say, but Admiral Nimitfc' comment was more dignified.

He messaged Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift, com- Jlidiiuet of the" ivtrtli Solomons: "Your shipmates in the Pacific fleet are intensely proud of you and your gallant Marines. Heartiest congratulations to you all." This score, of course, doesn't include the 80 or more Japanese killed in a Marine raid last Monday on Makin island in the Gilbert group.

Admiral Nimitz said the raid was a success and American casualties were light. The attack on Makin, coincident with continued action in the Solo- on made it clear that the United oiaies was pulling" powerful pressure on the most eastern and southern penetration of the Japanese.

The Solomons are the southern most of the most easterly prong, of Japanese strength south of the equator. Makin, in the Gilbert group, is among the most easterly Japanese strongholds north of the equator.
